2-(3-Phenyladamantan-1-yl)acetic acid is a tracer that has been used as an immunogen to produce antibodies. 2-(3-Phenyladamantan-1-yl)acetic acid is also a nucleic acid probe and can be used in hybridization assays. It binds to the phenyl ring of the hapten, which is usually a protein or polysaccharide. The conjugates are then used in immunoassays such as ELISA, RIA, and Western blotting. This chemical is also used as an intermediate for other probes and can be used to label DNA or RNA.
